Blinkered Views risky punt against St Mirren

1113

In his Bookies Corner article for the current issue of CQN Magazine, columnist, Blinkered Views, suggested St Mirren offered good value for a punt on relegation.  I spoke to him when he submitted the article and suggested, “Surely Dunfermline?”  He agreed Dunfermline were most likely for the drop but they offered no value.  St Mirren, on the other hand, were 9/1 for the drop and he made a good case why this was worth a bet.

St Mirren promptly spoiled Christmas for thousands (not your or me) by coming from behind to beat Rangers but that has been their only win in 8 league games.  We also don’t need to be reminded that when visiting St Mirren Park, form is a poor guide.  Celtic exited the Scottish Cup there a week after beating Saints 7-0 at Celtic Park.  They are a team who can raise their game for the big occasion and the visit of Celtic, live on TV, is as big as it gets around Paisley.

Paddy McCourt has enjoyed his visits there and has been key to Celtic collecting the points a couple of times.  Don’t be surprised if he makes a match winning appearance from the bench.

  7. Evening bhoys, hun free as ever.

     

     

    Well fellow Tims, it’s been a strange day today, there has been a bit of a stooshie over on RTC due to a poster posting James Forrest’s superb post from the other day, seems a few posters took the hump with it.

     

     

    Then we had Awe Naw being his usual self and he was posing as a hun who took on the resident huns, and destroyed them imo.

     

     

    Much more exiting than the day I have had, I have about 200 lbs of spare oranges in anybody is interested, also had a lovely Chino meal this evening and had a superb red with it, and all it cost was a big bag of oranges, the joys of the barter system.

     

     

    What’s Lenny to do the morra, choices, choices, go for it I reckon, finish them off quick time.

    well done bud.

     

     

    your much much better than that old duffer CRC who often drops the question cards, then has the wrong answers,

     

     

    every week there is a stewards enquiry with hih, so its great to sit in on a friday night with a person who is professional at how they want to perform the job.

  10. Well done Tom – you need to defend your title next week, mind.

     

     

    And well done CSB for an excellent quiz – refereed with no honest mistakes.

     

     

    Off to BBC4 for me….enjoy your evening Bhoys and Ghirls.

     

     

    Jobo

  11. Well done TMcL – I’ll plead the case that I was just a young lad in the seventies! As opposed to now and just a daft lad.

     

     

    Celtic Soul Brother – you done a great job.

     

     

    Cheers all.

  12. Celtic Soul Brother- Supporting Kano 1000 –

     

     

    Thanks for that.

     

     

    It’s the first time I have taken part in the Friday Quiz.

     

     

    I am usually still in bed for the duration.

     

     

    Thoroughly enjoyed it.

     

     

    I’ll hope to be back next week to defend my crown.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  13. Well done also to Tom for winning…..ya bassa ;-)

     

     

    HAIL! HAIL!
